Collection Move Technician

At  London Museum we connect people with the lived experience of London. The story we tell is one of place and people, evolving through interaction and exchange. We summarise what we do in three words: We Are London.

London Museum has an exciting opportunity for two Collection Move Technicians, which requires a collaborative, practical and flexible approach to the handling, transport, storage and care of collections. You will play a key role in supporting our exit from London Wall and relocation of the Collection. As we move towards the creation of a new museum at Smithfield, you will also play an important role in developing collection storage facilities; preparing and enabling collections to move; and delivering medium-to-large scale collection move projects.

We are seeking two people with previous experience of handling, moving, packing and transporting museum objects, and proven experience of working flexibly and creatively in a project driven environment. You should hold a full clean driving license and have experience of driving a 3.5 tonne vehicle.

In addition, we are looking for people who are skilled problem solvers with a pragmatic approach who is capable of building effective working relationships at all levels.
